Cellar Project - Stripping the paint

The paint was coming off very easily with just a wire brush and wallpaper stripper so I invested in some heavy duty paint stripper. This stuff was like wallpaper paste and didn't smell too bad, but the instructions were designed to put the fear of God in you, so I wore goggles, gloves and hat.

I applied the paste very thickly as per the instructions and then had to wait 2 days to let it work its magic.

Well after a few days of working on the paint, i went to work on scraping the walls. the paint kind of came away, but was still a real pain. plaster and rendering is still  proving a problem to remove. Looks like i'll be getting a man in to shot blast it.
